Ingredients
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (195 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • Pinch of kosher salt
    Directions
    1. In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the eggs with the sugar on high speed until light yellow. Add the butter and vanilla and mix until combined.
    2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and salt. Add to the egg mixture and mix on low speed until combined.
    3. Preheat a krumkake iron. When the iron is hot, spoon about a tablespoon of the batter on top of each mold and close the iron. Cook for about a minute, or until the krumkake reaches your desired darkness. Let each krumkake cool around a cone-shaped wooden dowel or lay flat on a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining batter.
